Her Second Chance Alpha A rogue
It's the first day back to school and everyone is quiet in the hallway. As it's only pack members accepted here, no one dares to make a sound after the events of the last week. We all walk past each other, keeping our heads down.Even Caroline and her minions are in a corner, with empty expressions on their faces.I looked around for Axel, but he was nowhere to be seen. I am still a bit upset about everything so I didn't message him and he didn't reach out either. I started to grow more and more anxious over the weekend and I shoot him an 'How are you?' message, in the morning, but he didn't reply yet. A few members of neighborhood packs will come this week to discuss aid requests, so he may be busy, but still... it's been a bit long to forget about your mate.And by the end of the day, the only thing that changed was the color of the sky. Axel is still nowhere to be seen, the school is silent and I feel like the lump in my throat is only getting bigger.I look at the sky as I get out

"Sweetheart, the doctor should look at you." My mom kisses my forehead and pushes the cup of tea towards me."I just got scared, I don't need a doctor for that." I say as I push the cup away. Two is enough. How much can one drink?Axel is standing next to me, holding my hand, acting like if he takes it away, I will vanish. My grandma is just standing at his hide, staring at the future Alpha holding her half-human granddaughter. I hope she took her heart medication."If I hadn't gotten there in time..." Axel whispers, his voice breaking a little with every word."It wasn't aggressive. And it saved me..." I don't get to finish before he shakes his head."You don't know these bastards. If he saved you from one thing, it was only because he wanted to do something way worse to you." He comments, tightening his grip."It was your luck that the future Alpha was around, Rose. I don't know where your head was to go alone in that park." My grandma chimes in. I would roll my eyes, usually, but t

For whatever reason from earlier, I am not afraid. And as I realize that, I also realize how dumb it sounds. I should be afraid! I should cry and scream and run for my life. If even a fraction of what I thought about rogues is true, any death would be kinder than one under this wolf's fangs.So why on earth do I get closer?"Hello..." I whisper, terrified more about the possibility of some pack member hearing me befriend a rogue than death. "Earlier... I didn't get to thank you... for, you know? Saving me? So... Thank you!"As I was talking, I didn't realize I approached it enough so that if I extended my hand I could touch it. The huge wolf tilts its head, half curious, half cautious. He seems like he’s checking my body."I’m not hurt. I'm Rose, by the way." I introduce myself, not really knowing what I was waiting for. It's not like he can answer like this or he would take his human form in the middle of hostile territory. Guessing my thoughts, a shimmer of amusement flashes in his

I haven't been to the pack since the fight with my grandma and after my mom heard about the incident, she started to avoid her calls too. Not like anyone cares enough to try and call us. Even grandma gave up after the first two days. And I have to admit, it feels so liberating, I almost feel guilty about it.I wish I could enjoy the feeling, but the situation with Axel lives rent free in my head all day. I don't even know if he knows about the negotiations thing, or, if he knows; what he thinks about it. Endless possibilities with endless twists and turns make me stare at the phone for hours, wondering how should I even start this conversation.One year... A while ago, Axel asked me to give him one year and after that, we would live happily ever after. But with every day that passes, I realize I am no princess in a fairytale and no prince will come and save me. Or maybe I am the villain in the story?*Ring ring.*The phone buzzes in my hand, pulling me from the image of me as a very p

The dream ends abruptly when my phone starts to ring next to my ear. I don't get to hear the rest of the story or even what she thinks I should do about it.BlackbloodThat is the only thing that I hear in the back of my mind as I open my eyes."Hey. You awake?" The familiar voice comes through when I answer and even though I am not too sure about our relationship, I can't deny that the sound of his voice gives me a sense of calm and peace that I came to crave like an addict."Why? Are all the other people from the pack are sleeping?" I admit that I can be a bit bitchy myself but at this point... can you really blame me?"Funny. Come downstairs if you are awake enough to make fun of your future Alpha."Now, this wakes me up pretty fast as I throw away the blanket and look down the window. Leaning on his car, with his killer smirk, he looks up at me.I throw a jacket on and go downstairs in my pajamas. Not because I got so excited about seeing him that I couldn't be bothered to change.

"Not now..." I whined as the Moon Goddess looks at me with a smile."There are things that can not suffer delay, my child.""You gave me a mate that I can not possibly be with and in the rare moments I manage to sneak one moment of contempt with him, the fate of the world bangs at the door. It is a bit unfair, isn't it?" I continue to protest and she seems surprised. Truth be told, a normal werewolf would fall on their knees and consider themselves blessed to personally meet the goddess of night, but we are here exactly because I am not a normal one, right? I feel very little connection with that part of myself and I mostly begrudge her for putting all this pressure on me, knowing even if by some miracle I do save the packs from this danger, their pride will not let them acknowledge me anyway."I know it is... But..." She hesitates. "Because it is unfair for you to suffer this much... I want to keep you away from him. ""From Axel? My mate? The mate that you gave me?""Child..." She s

~Axel's perspective~“We would have to kiss for this to work.” I smirk, looking at my best friend’s face getting pale as a ghost. Caroline hates shows of affection just as she hates chocolate, flowers and anything else that makes life remotely better.“No, we don’t!”“Maybe even sleep together!” I continue to taunt her until she snaps and takes a swing at me.“You’re a pig!” She shouts and I make the mistake to laugh, granting me a punch in the gut. Goddess, she’s fast. I didn’t even see it coming.“Ok! Ok! No sleeping together! But we need to kiss once, Caroline. Or else no one would belive the fake relationship is real.”“Then we drop the plan entirely and you keep it in your pants by yourself!”That won’t work either. Last week I went to her as one of the girls I was sleeping with had a pregnancy scare. She was an Omega from a neighboring pack that I hooked up a few times during border patrol. If she would have been pregnant it would have been a disaster. An Omega Luna… Or a future

Flashbacks from yesterday haunt me. Every time I close my eyes, even just a blink of the eye brings back the blood, the terror, the screams. Everything happened too fast for me to process, but somehow every detail is engraved on my mind.One moment and I see Axel jump towards the rogue. The next one comes and I see myself between them, trying to protect the stranger instead of my own mate. A third one and Axel falls down so he can avoid hurting me. Forth and another rogue jumps at the opportunity and bites Axel. The blood starts spilling as Axel's eyes lose their shine. Fifth blink and I am thrown to the side by Caroline, desperately trying to push him off Axel.The Alpha comes after that and the rogues run away. The warriors take their human forms and circle us as I crawl towards Axel. But Caroline stops me. She didn't care to grab something to cover herself, she doesn't care that half the pack is around us, she cares for nothing as her eyes get red with anger."Traitor!" She screame

Her Second Chance Alpha Happy ending
"Damon! We really need to hurry!" I try to sound assertive, but it sounds more like a moan. His hand is roaming under my shirt , leaving a burning sensation of pure desire on every inch of skin he touches. I get drunk with his smell, his presence, his love. So much so, that it worries me what I will do when the mate bond finally snaps into place. Will we ever leave this room?But to find that out we really need to leave. Like five minutes ago.I manage to peel Damon off of me with the promise of tonight being our first time as mates and with that we are out the door to Caroline's Alpha ceremony.We drive by the southern packs that managed to rebuild most of what was destroyed in the war. By how things are going, they will become fully independent again in less than a year."The road helped a lot of them connect to resources." I say, proud that we could make it real. My grandma started it by telling me how nice it would be to be able to just drive to her cousin's pack in the north. Wit
Her Second Chance Alpha The end of the war
Werewolves don't fight in daylight. I think it's one of the first things I remember my teacher saying, way before I could truly comprehend the meaning of it. It was fine until a century or two ago when, if any unlucky human saw anything they would have been considered mad, but now, with phones and cameras in everyone's pocket?We are wolves in the shadow, humans in the light.We were. Until this war. Until the rogues broke every rule we have ever been taught and we had to push ourselves out of everything that felt right in order to defeat them.Once the sun starts to rise, and the piles of bodies gather around the open field, every instinct screams at me to run. To hide. I see everyone around me feeling the same, everyone remembering what we've been taught. Except our enemy, who teached their children that victory must come at any price.I see people so tired, they can't maintain their wolf form. They fall on their knees, so tired they don't raise their heads when the enemy bites off
Her Second Chance Alpha It's on, bitch
"This time, everything will work perfectly." Damon seemed confident, even though that never happened before. And I really, really wanted to believe him, mostly because I needed to, but also because he made it seem so real. Like we had a chance.But that chance slips a little bit through my fingers with every look the council throws at each other. Or even worse, with every look they sneak in Thomas' direction. Waiting for him to take a decision, to take the lead. And unfortunately, Thomas is not desperate, he is young and has all the time to be cautious and smart about his decisions.After a bit of bickering, the king explains his reasoning in an avalanche of ill-fitted sentences."It would be unwise to march, while we lose the base." Someone comments."This is absurd!" Thomas finally bursts and shouts at his father. "Damon doesn't have enough men to take over the pack. We left enough warriors there to make sure of that. We can't march back, wasting everything because you got informati
Her Second Chance Alpha Silence before the storm
On the second night of the funeral march, once we reach the fourth pack that abandoned their territory, I see Thomas starting to put things together. His father calmed down a lot and is now advancing slower, making sure the sentinels spread in between the bases and the army can maintain the pack link and keep the communication open. No shadow of the Strychnos plant.That's not good."This doesn't feel right." I say to Thomas as we find ourselves walking next to each other."Why are you scared? Even if it's a trap, your mate will protect you. No one will jump to punish a Moon Priestess.""Yeah... But..." I let the silence speak as I look at the ground. I know Thomas looks at me so I brush my hair off my face so he can see my teary eyes."But you're not sure." Thomas tries to sound sympathetic, but I would be a fool not to feel the satisfaction in his voice."He is my mate, he would... protect me.""You know, every time you say the story of your past life, there is one detail that doesn
Her Second Chance Alpha Strychonos plant
Caroline is standing so close to me, I can feel her breath on the back of my head. The king wanted her to be on the other side of the little funeral march as Damon called it, but Caroline looked ready to snap a few necks before she would be separated from me."As long as my pack stands, she is my Luna! It is my duty to protect her or die trying!" None of the men in the office questioned her determination, so she was allowed to act as my bodyguard if it came down to it."Wish you'd have been as determined in the last life too." I can't help but clap at her as we make our way to the MoonWalk pack's borders."Yeah... me too." She answers, to my surprise. Usually, when I make remarks like this she counters with the fact that I wasn't powerful or useful enough to be accepted, let alone respected as Luna. She must sense my surprise because she's quick to explain. "I know. That's what I thought all my life, but... I know Omegas who wouldn't have betrayed the pack for all the power in the wor
Her Second Chance Alpha The trap is set
"Your friend was put in another room." Thomas is by my side when I wake up, gently pressing an ice bag on the left side of my head. But even with that, I can feel every second of Caroline's training throbbing in my head. I bite my lip as i get up and make sense of my surroundings, mostly of the little silver bracelet that stands as proof of the fact that I am not a good liar. If I would have, the king would have trusted me by now."It's fine... I deserved it." I tell him as I grab the hand he offers to help me stand up. He holds it for a second longer than he should and I realize I was staring at him. Well, not at him, at every feature that reminds me of Damon."I'm sorry about earlier. I just... A lot of things happened at once and...""It's ok." No it was not and he is a piece of crap, but if I can't fool the father maybe I can the son? "I was surprised since you said you have a girlfriend and you know... I have a mate.""Yeah... She really doesn't want to be involved with this so s
Her Second Chance Alpha You are not my mate, Rose
"I haven't seen you freeze like that since you got a wolf." Caroline snarls at me as she closes the door after us."I wanted to test something.""And?""And it confirmed that the off feeling I had about Thomas was because he was… interested not because of something more sinister." I answer while trying to use the pack link to tell her that she can't, in fact, trust Thomas. But despite everything, I am still blocked."Remind me to complain about this logistics flaw to the Goddess. She can't lock me out forever." I say to Nala, but the ancient she-wolf is not in the mood for joking."She has enough on her plate. You need to find a way to return to the meeting and warn them!""She can't see what is going on?""To make your mate's prison stronger, she locked herself in too. They have no connection to the outside. The only reason you were able to wake up was because I pulled you out by force." Nala explains and my last hope of a plan finally working, as Damon promised, gets tossed down the
Her Second Chance Alpha Liar brother
I am shaken awake by Caroline, who has a terrified expression on her face. I almost jump out of bed when I see her, but as soon as I open my eyes, she sighs in relief."You sleep like you're on fucking drugs!" She snaps after I ask her what the hell happened. One second I was sitting with Damon in front of a very angry gathering of Alphas, the next, I am pulled back by Nala in a panick.I hear a loud bang on the door before Thomas' voice comes through, full of annoyance and urgency."Listen here, you little pack girl, you have one minute to wake her or I'll..." He doesn't get the chance to finish that pseuodo-threat because I open the door."What the hell happened?""So you're not in a coma.""Oh, come on! I am a good sleeper, but this is ridiculous. And it's not even morning yet!" I point at the pitch black sky outside, wondering how on earth did they figure everything out so fast."Apparently, some Alphas, if not all of them are in some type of coma. Our spies reported that they wou
Her Second Chance Alpha No one leaving
The Alphas who agreed to help from the start moved closer, pushing the rest to the side so we can discuss a thing or two. I can see Axel with the corner of my eye, but I don't have the courage to face him yet. In the explaining that I did earlier, I had to mention a few things that involved him in the past life and I know he is hurt, but... this requires a longer and more private conversation.Fortunately, everyone is so caught with the entire war thing that no one thinks to ask why Damon stands next to me instead of my mate.Everyone but Luna Karina. When everyone spreads out for a small break, she approaches me with a stormy expression. Damon takes the hint and walks away, all the eyes following him like he's a jailer. With a straight posture and a half-smile, I can see he's enjoying it more than he should, though."I tried to break through this dream a few times. Just like the other Alphas surely did too. I tried to connect with anyone from my pack to try and wake me, but that was
